Local high school player named McDonald's All American

St. Stephens forward Jarrett Allen recently earned a spot on this year's prestigious 24 play McDonald's High School All American squad and he's one of the few national standouts who has yet to pick a college.

The Austin-area had produced just two McDonald's High School All Americans the previous 20 years and both Kris Clack and Brad Buckman took their talents to the University of Texas. Longhorn fans are hoping Allen will keep that trend going.

The 6'10" and 235 pound Allen has eight college teams on his list and Texas is still in the running.

Allen has been advised to make his college decision by April. The McDonald's All American game is March 30 at Chicago's United Center.
